People have been saying they are in imminent collapse mode for a decade at least now, and they keep expanding, get more advanced and aggressive militarily, and keep snapping up more and more of the world's natural resources.

I understand the data regarding their birth rates and the worry of a collapse in population due to the supposed disastrous nature of the 1 child policy. I understand the Evergrande stuff.

But they just keep expanding. They keep taking over Africa at alarming rates. They are moving into South American and even the Caribbean.

China cannot and has not ever been able to handle even Japan.

They are powerful but they are grunts. Yes they have smart people, they should, they have 9 billion but they are not what you see on tv. The are great at reverse engineering and figuring out another mans creation.

China also shares as much information at North Korea so if there was a problem, you wouldnt know and our government wouldnt tell you because of how the military operates.

Taking over and ruling a country takes the removal of all prior culture. Unless they are willing to commit genocide on the largest scale we have ever seen in human history they will eventually regret setting up so many assets there.
